There’s nothing quite like a family gathering – a time to reconnect, reminisce, and create new memories together. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, enjoying a long-overdue reunion, or simply getting the whole family together for a break, Croan Cottages in Kilkenny offers the perfect setting for your next family get-together. Our self-catering holiday cottages provide the ideal balance of privacy and communal spaces, ensuring a relaxed and enjoyable stay for every generation.

Why Choose Croan Cottages for Your Family Gathering?

Space for Everyone

One of the greatest advantages of hosting your family gathering at Croan Cottages is the ability to have your own private space while still being close to your loved ones. Each family unit can stay in their own comfortable self-catering cottage, allowing for personal downtime while keeping the group connected. No need to worry about overcrowded hotel rooms – here, you can enjoy the luxury of space while staying just a short stroll away from each other.

Gather Together Outdoors

Kilkenny’s beautiful countryside provides a stunning backdrop for your gathering, and at Croan Cottages, families can enjoy spacious outdoor areas to meet up, play, and relax. Our lush gardens, open fields, and BBQ area are perfect for hosting alfresco meals, outdoor games, or simply unwinding in the fresh air. Kids can run freely and safely while the adults relax and catch up, making for a stress-free and enjoyable experience for all.

Dine Together in Comfort

While each cottage has its own fully equipped kitchen, larger groups can choose to dine together in one of the cottages, creating a homely and intimate atmosphere. Whether you opt for a home-cooked feast, a BBQ in the gardens, or a catered meal, you’ll have the perfect setting to enjoy quality time over delicious food.

A Heart-Warming Story from Past Guests

At Croan Cottages, we’ve had the privilege of hosting many memorable family gatherings. One such story was recently featured in the Kilkenny People newspaper, highlighting the incredible impact a stay here had on a visiting family. The article shares a touching message received from former guests who found their experience at Croan Cottages to be truly special – a testament to the warmth and charm of our accommodation.

“We had an incredible time at Croan Cottages! It was a real family get together and the kids especially adored it. Plans to visit Castlecomer yesterday were abandoned because the kids just wanted to stay and play in the garden and chat to the goats! What a beautiful place you have. 

The cottages are so comfortable and well-appointed, we were able to cook a big family dinner last night. I really appreciated the cot, high chair and stair-gate too.  

We all want to come back and stay at the cottages again in the future, it was a really special weekend. Thank you again!”
